Recorded for a television program of the same name back in 1983, In Session bills itself as the only known recording of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King, who was Vaughan's idol and mentor, playing together. That leads to some heavy expectations, which fortunately aren't disappointed, at least if you aren't expecting the customary over-the-top performances Vaughan was famous for. His playing here is much more laid-back and controlled, which is actually a recommendation--the stylistic similarities between teacher and student are that much more pronounced. The songs are mostly King concert staples, with the exception of "Pride and Joy"; highlights include the T-Bone Walker classic "Call It Stormy Monday" and one of King's own, "Overall Junction," which features some excellent guitar solo work. The snippets of recorded conversation between songs are interesting curiosities as well. --Genevieve Williams
"Albert King - Vocals/Guitar
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Guitar/Vocals (Pride and Joy)
This record was released sometime after both deaths of SRV and Albert King. From my understanding this was a public broadcast for PBS, and it's one of my few holy grail albums I have in my collection of Blues.
Everyone knows, Albert King and Stevie Ray are 2 of the greatest of all time, so it's a dream come true hearing them rip it up together. I put this on the list for a reason; it's an excellent study of 2 buddie"
